Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition

The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition Act, 2013, is an Indian law designed to ensure that people whose land is acquired for developmental projects receive fair compensation. It mandates a transparent process for land acquisition, focusing on fair market value, additional compensation for loss of livelihood, and rehabilitation for displaced families. The law aims to protect the rights of landowners and ensure they are adequately compensated while balancing the need for infrastructure and development. This approach seeks to facilitate a more just and equitable process in land acquisition.
